We live in a dishonest society. Therefore, our thinking is seriously flawed because we lack the truth. The system continually degrades our democracy. We must mandate disclosure and transparency in all government operations and identify the problem in public information.
NO DISCLOSURE – NO DEMOCRACY
There are four main frauds to address. Since the first has to do with national security and the military, I need to preface with some personal information. The first part of my name, Joseph Bruce, I share with my great uncle, my mother’s family, coming to America from Scotland. He was in the U.S. Army and died in the fields of France during WW1. My last name Testa, is from my father Louis, his father coming to America from Italy. My father, a WW2 disabled veteran, eventually died in the Veterans Hospital in Miami from medical malpractice. His brother, Vincent, was career Army. His son, my cousin Jack was in the Navy. My mother’s brother, Paul Brink, served with the Marines in the Pacific in WW2. My older brother, Louis, served in the Army in Vietnam. He was decorated and died a few years ago, in part, from a rare cancer linked to exposure to Agent Orange.
My family fought for national security in the form of: Truth, Freedom, Democracy and Justice. They believed in leaders who exhibited these principles. They believed that national security was ultimately secured by free speech, free press, disclosure and transparency. They did not fight for lies, secrecy, hypocrisy, turmoil and confusion. Those things impair national security. They believed that government officials and military officers who were not honest were traitors.
Therefore, the first fraud to discuss, perhaps the biggest fraud, is the government lying and hiding information on UFO’s, UAP’s or whatever you want to call them. This would be one of the greatest discoveries in human history and the knowledge would be tremendous. It could solve many of our problems. For decades, the government and military have been hiding this information. This fraud is so important, beyond science, because it created a justification for anti democracy arrogance. The excuse of national security was really the self protection of power and paycheck by officials with this attitude. The reality is that this anti democracy arrogance has done more to endanger our national security. As an example, the well documented “Phoenix Lights” could have been a tremendous initiation to a huge discovery for the benefit of the world. Instead, then Gov. Symington, who later admitted seeing the object, lied and in full anti democracy arrogance, insulted and ridiculed the very citizens who elected him and were paying his salary. It is taxation without representation. Also, as usual, there are people with this inside information, making money by investing on this inside information. Overall, the resolution of this fraud, beyond science, will hopefully lead to the diminishment of other anti democracy frauds that have grown over the years.
The second fraud is Artificial Intelligence. AI is simply a reflection of the information in a society. Therefore, when the society is dishonest, the information will not be accurate. Truth does not flourish in this environment. Although it is of great value for business, important information is always missing. The suppression of free speech and freedom of the press will perpetrate the fraud. It will damage our democracy. AI will always be corrupted.
The third fraud is fiat currency. The dollar has no intrinsic value. It is essentially a promissory note, a loan issued by our government. To exist, it has to have a large segment of the citizens believing in it and each other and willing to put forth the effort to honor our commitment to the loan primarily by paying taxes in agreement with our national policies and practices. Disagreement within society is often a cause for a decline in the value of fiat currency. Crypto currency is an example of this. Inflation is another cause. The President, Congress, the Sec. of the Treasury and the Federal Reserve should all be educating the public as to the function and history of fiat currency. Instead the lack of the disclosure of the risks of fiat currency will continually degrade our economy and especially the credit markets which control everything. If you do not understand this risk, then your financial plan and investment strategy are worthless.
The fourth fraud was initiated by the Supreme Court. In 2010, the Court ruled in a case quite hypocritically named Citizens United. The Court intentionally expanded the power of the aristocracy by giving corporations and wealthy others the right to fund large donations for political purposes, essentially granting them super citizenship. It is like giving them extra votes. It gave rise to the “super pacs”, political entities that can exert tremendous power and influence. This power combined with IRC 501c4 allows much of this fraud to operate in secret. It is part of the dark money network. This is the basis for election fraud far more than mail in ballots.
The cause of much of the fraud in America has been weak leadership. They hide and manipulate the truth. Strong leaders have the moral courage to lead with the truth. Until we get that kind of leadership, we will continue thinking without the truth.
